* Present Time *
Matthew and Serenity have been in the car for quite a few hours now, travelling towards the Midnight Moon Pack. They'd decided it would be better if they got there as soon as possible and Serenity did not want to anger her dear best friend, who may turn into Bridezilla herself.
She was nervous and anxious to meet them all, especially a certain someone with stormy grey eyes. As if feeling her nervousness, Matthew places his hand on top hers, while he drives with the other, and says "It's going to be just fine and do not to forget I'm going to be with you." She shoots him a nervous smile.
It is a five-hour drive and she realises that they were nearing their
"Um. You know that, um-uh." Courtney stutters out and she seems to be nervous for some weird reason that was unknown to Serenity, this only happens when she is hiding something or tries to lie about something. "Spit it out Courtney, I asked you a simple question." Serenity tells her, curious to know whose baby this was. "It's Damien's and Emily's, Okay? Honestly, I thought you would figure it out already, I mean he looks exactly like Damien, I guess not!" Courtney says and looks at Serenity with a wary look almost like she was expecting Serenity to burst out crying. Selene, her wolf whimpers 'mate has a child with another female'. She did feel pain
Matt and Serenity have been curled upon her bed for the past hour or so watching 'Titanic'. It was kind of funny how the person who was supposed to cry was not and the one that was not, was actually bawling their eyes out. She hears sniffling noises when the part where Jack dies at the end of the film from hypothermia, protecting Rose by having her float on a doorframe while he stays in the water plays on the screen. She turns towards her right and finds Matthew sniffling and sees tears trickling down his face causing her to laugh.
Matthew and Serenity have come out for a run, they have been sitting on top of a broken wooden log which overlooks the stream and the waterfall. It's so peaceful out here, the chirping of the birds and flapping of their wings accompanied by the sound made by the crickets. The water from the waterfall falls on to the stream in a steady pace never once breaking the rhythm which causes ripples to form on the water in a circular motion. They have been sitting in silence for the past half hour just looking into the scenery before them, both lost in their own thoughts. "Do you ever miss her?" Serenity breaks the silence by asking the question. Matthew immediately understand who she was asking him about, his mate. Its silent for a f
"No, I am the best man" a new voice joins in on their conversation, causing Serenity's body to stills after hearing his deep voice, she closes her eyes,cursing in her mind, she wishes that he would just disappear, that she was just a dream. But no, as she opens her eyes, he's still standing there in all his glory. His eyes holds a bit of amusement which she wanted to wipe off immediately, Sadly she didn't have the balls to go against an Alpha and secondly she valued her life, dearly. 'Great, I'm doomed.' She thinks to herself. Turning towards her left, when her best friend stood, she looks at Courtney with accusing eyes causing Courtney to avert her eyes from hers. Serenity was rarely anger
" I loved you at your darkest " - Romans 5:8 ▪ "You smell like him" he says through clenched jaw while grinding his teeth in a painful way. He lowers his head and buries his face in to her neck and place both his hands on her waist, a shudder passes through her body at the contact and small tingle zaps like electricity at the touch. Soon anger takes over her features when she his words register into her mind, she pushes him away, catching him off guard since he wasn't expecting her to do so, he stumbles back in the process, Serenity takes the opportunity and moves away, putting distance b
He stops when there is an inch of space between them, causing dread to fill her features when she hears the words leaving his lips. "Who was he?" With a dark look on his handsome face. She stays quiet contemplating whether she should tell him or not. She opens her mouth to say something but she's cut-off by a familiar voice. "Serenity, Wha- What are you doing here?" Matthew is standing at the door looking like he had run a marathon with his tousled hair and crumpled up t-shirt, his question directed at Damien. Damien had an angry look on his face when he replies "None of your fucking business, pup".
"You don't give up on the one you love" ▪ ️ Matthew, what happen-, why are you-?" She's immediately cut off when his wolf growls and grits out "He killed my mate" and this time it's her who was shocked with this new piece of information. "And what the hell do you mean by he's your father, I thought you and Alex had the same parents" he asks, she sighs in defear and replies in a tone which implies that she was not ready to talk about it at the moment. "No, I was adopted by the Martins when I was fourteen" Silence surrounded them as Matthew took in the information, meanwhile Serenity thought back to what he had said just a few moments ago, she was confused to say the least. "Wait, wasn't your mate and pack kill
" She wore her hope like a crown,An outspoken soliloquy of dreams. " - Ariana ▪️ She turns around but her reflexes are too late when she feels herself being hit on the back of her head with a powerful force. Her vision starts to blur instantly as dots appear on her vision. Darkness fills her mind and she collapses onto the forest floor naked in her human form. ▪️ Its been two hours since Serenity had taken off abruptly between their dance, and Damien had been looking around the reception area but he couldn't find her anywhere around the venue. Killian, his wolf had been nagging at him as if trying to tell him something but he couldn't point out what it was exactly. He spots Matthew talking with the former Delta's mate, who was also Serenity's M
*1 year later* "Harry, you have to take your pills." Her words cause the old man to pout, he flashes her his puppy dog eyes in a last resort to sway her decision. Serenity shakes her head at his actions. She raises an eyebrow at his action, "you know that look doesn't have an affect on me. Also, If you take your medicines I might think about sneaking in some cookies for dessert after dinner" She says slyly, eyeing the old man as she checked his vitals. She watched in triumph as Harry's eyes widened in excitement, Knowing that she had him where she wanted. Harry was a sixty-eight year old man, one of her patients. He suffers from Coronary heart disease, this is caused due to damage in the heart's blood vessels; causing the coronary arteries to narrow, limiting the blood flow to the heart. Unfortunately Harry wasn't allowed to eat any sugary food items or drinks, b
* 1 year later * When she had came back, she found her room the same way as she'd left it years ago, with everything still in its original place. Apparently 'Damien didn't want anyone touching and moving your stuff' was what Courtney said while wearing a teasing smile on her lips which made Serenity to roll her eyes. Matthew visits occasionally and he stays during Christmas holidays. She was surprised at first to find Matthew and Damien talking and getting along like some long lost best friends, but she was happy nonetheless to know that the two people she cared the most about were getting along well. She was currently sitting infront of the vanity present in her room. She was getting ready for her date with Damien, which he refused to say anything about apart from the fact
* 2 years later * Leaning against the balcony of her New York pent house sh3 and Matthew shared, with a hot cup of coffee held in her hands while she watched New York life go about below her. People rushing into work, some walking without a care in the world. So different from Beacon Hills with its forest and landscape. "Guess who's got a date tonight baby!?" A voice interrupts her trail of thoughts. She rolls her eyes at his antics. Two years went by and he still hasn't changed a bit. "Let me guess, Mr. Antern who lives down the street? Please tell me its with Janet across the street, I mean I kind of knew that they liked each other-" she stops talking when she looks at Matthew's face, looking at her with a deadpanned expression. He seemed unimpressed with her words. She snickers under her breath. "HAHA, you aren't as funny as you think you're" he sneers at me, his face beco
Six months, six long agonising months of not knowing when he was going to wake up. He has been in a comatose situation for six months, six months since he said uttered those three words she had waited so long to hear, but he left her, just like others did. Exhaustion and tiredness was a constant thing in her life. These months have been so painful to survive. She couldn't feel his wolf at all, making her more scared than ever. Her wolf hasn't talked to her in months. So, she was basically wolfless. The memory of that day is still vivid in her mind. Damien was immediately rushed into the pack infirmary. She had screamed down the whole place, asking the doctors and nurse to immediately operate on him, scaring everyone since her wolf had been in control, making them worry that she would snap any second. Everyone in the pack practically knows that
She sighs for the hundredth time, throwing the forest green colored dress onto her bed, she turns towards Courtney with a look of defeat, who was going through Serenity's closet, looking for a dress. "It's too short for my taste, Courtney." "If it was upto you, you'd wear a sweater my grandma would wear with some leggings" Courtney rolls her eyes at her bestfriend. "I mean what's the problem with wearing a sweater? Its comfortable" Serenity argues back, making her blow air out of her mouth. "You didn't even argue with the fact that you would wear granny sweaters" she states smugly, picking up a pillow Serenity throws it at her, which Courtney easily dodges, causing Serenity to grumble under her breath. "Why do we have to go to this stupid party?" She whines. If it was upto Serenity, she would've been lounging in her sweat pants and
Matthew stands before the huge Mahogany colored door, usually he wasn't ever this nervous but after what went down a few weeks ago he wasn't so sure, it was going to be hard to explain himself to Damien about why he did what he did. Knocking on the door once, he waits for him to let him inside. "Come in" a deep voice says. Twisting the door knob, he enters into the Alpha's office. Upon seeing him, Damien's face changes to that of rage. Matthew raises his hands in surrender. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip your throat out right now" he growls out, his eyes switching colors between grey and black.
It has been two whole weeks since she had Iast seen Damien, she had got a glimpse of him here and there in the pack house, but whenever she triedto approach him it was like he magically disappeared into thin air. She has been feeling guilty ever since that night in his bedroom, she had been wanting to apologize but she could never get a hold of him. She knew that he visited Elijah late at night, when she was knocked up by sleep. She could feel it in the morning, and his lingering scent proved her senses right. It was late at night, Matthew had dragged her into the living room of the pack, stating that he wanted to have a movie marathon like old times, which she found a bit weird at first but shook that thought off immediately.
It was midnight and she couldn't sleep properly, tossing and turning every other minute until she had enough. She walks down the quiet hallways, careful not to make any noise and wake up the sleeping pack mates. Suddenly she hears rustling noises, nearly giving her a heart attack. She places a hand on top of her chest, feeling her heart beat like crazy. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion when hears the rustling noises again. Deciding to check it out herself, she follows the noise to a door farthest and secluded from others, staring at the door painted in black, she realises that it lead to Damien's room. Slowly twisting the door knob, praying to god that she doesn't wake him up. She slowly tip-toes inside his room. Its completely dark in there, but thank God for her enhanced vision that she could navigate around it perfectly. Her eyes could make out the king sized bed and the figure under the
His voice sounded more deeper, meaning that Killian, his wolf was in control. His eyes flashing black as he inhales deep breaths in to calm himself down. He could feel his eyes going back to their normal color. He retracts his hands from around her throat and the death grip I had on her wrists loosens immediately. "Geez, remind me never to do that again" she rolls her eyes as she speaks. "I wouldn't keep you alive if you pull a stunt like that again" A dark smirk crosses his features knowing that he had gotten his point across. "Now where were we before you decide to choke me?" She asks sarcastically ignoring his last words. "I want you to cast a protection spell on Serenity" he state, now turning serious. "And where do I find the source? Where do you expect me to chan
